Bob and Edie come to dinner

An exciting Saturday.  For first time we sold at two markets at once.  Laurie went to the Bozeman market while Liz and I went to the Livingston market.  The market in Livingston is pretty small with just a few farmer vendor.  It was cool to hang out with our fellow veggie growers but the customers were not very plentiful.  It was the first market of the season so hopefully interest will grow over the summer.


We got back home and had some lunch.  Shortly after that Laurie got home.  Not much longer til the boys woke up.  We all did a little bit of straightening up around the house.  And then we brought the tables and chairs out onto the deck.  It's been so nice out lately we decided to eat outside.  With the tables and chairs set up Liz and I put up the canopy while Laurie began dinner.


It was a well attended event.  Laurie's friends Cindi and Deb are here visiting from New Hampshire, and Bob and Edie were coming over to join us. They're longtime friends of Laurie and Billy and run Muddy Creek Ranch. As the sun began to set we gathered round the table, feasted on vino and Laurie's famous arugula pesto shrimp pasta.
L-R: David, Billy, Edie, Bob, Deb
After dinner Laurie brought Luggs over to see Eddie and visit with us. Because who doesn't have donkeys on their porch.


It was a lovely evening and we all hung out and chatted til there was no sight of the sun.  As the party died down and everyone turned in Liz, Boo, and I walked out into the fields.  The almost full moon was lighting everything up quite a bit.  With a little foresight we had set up a tent in the field earlier in the afternoon.  It was perfect to lay out with a great view of the night sky.
